Are you stuck in the cycle of failed relationships and are constantly worried you are unlovable or will never find true love? Do you find yourself overly needy or unable to communicate your needs properly in your relationships...always anxious when you are apart from your partner? Has your relationship with your parents negatively impacted your romantic relationships? If so, you may be stuck in a cycle of love addiction.
Facing Love Addiction offers a a way out. Through twelve-step work, exercises, and journal-keeping, this book compassionately and realistically outlines the recovery process to:
- Clearly outline the debilitating toxic patterns played out by love addicts and the unresponsive love avoidants to whom they are painfully and repeatedly drawn
- Clarify the distinctions between codependence and co-addiction
- Show how our childhood experiences of abandonment or engulfment influence our choice of romantic partners
- Illuminate how sometimes detaching from our emotions is necessary in ultimately feeling fulfilled and secure
Weaving together attachment theory, vulnerability, codependency, and generational trauma, this groundbreaking bestseller unravels the intricate dynamics of toxic relationships and shows us how to let go of toxic love. Pia Mellody combines more than 15 years treating addictions at the Meadows Treatment Center in Arizona, to help cure fears of abandonment and intimacy and curb harmful, self-victimizing patterns and modes of detachment.
Wherever you are in your love journey, this book will allow you to break dysfunctional and addictive patterns in relationships and definitively alter the way you view your partners, and yourself. Stop letting fear and self-doubt hold you back from the love you deserve--it could be right in front of you.
